Detective Inspector Shane Woolbank said people are "entitled to their home" and can use reasonable force to protect themselves and their property.

He said police were unable to determine the identity of the intruder.

"We are appealing to anyone who has information on this person," he said.

The man was aged in his late 20s to early 30s, with muscular build and was 175-180 centimetres tall. He had a ginger-like moustache and beard and was wearing a blue sleeveless top and grey knee-length shorts, but no shoes.

He had two tattoos — one on the upper inside of his left arm which is not in English, and one on his upper left chest which reads: "True to ourselves is our true honour."
